WTF goes on with this GAD system? now I know what your thinking "oh god it's another person complaining because he didn't win" well in a way your right. The thing is I wouldn't have minded loosing to another review, but when I spend all afternoon writing a review only to find im beaten by some guy who copied four cheats out of magazine, it kind of annoys me.

I'm not saying that my review should have won, but there where other good reviews submitted on the same day. Surely the GAD should have gone too someone who actually made some effort?

I know at the end of the day it's the judges decision who wins, but it really annoyed me. Anyway that's all have too say on the matter. I don't want to get known as amoaning git.

Dont cry Tilt, its only a game........

Tsk..... Bloody Moaners.......

Nah, seriously, I hate people that win games on cheats, because it takes no effort at all, whereas I could see your Review took along time to do.

.......and the fact that you made a whole new topic showing your feelings really emphasises how pi*sed off you are! :-D (Seeing that youve only ever made 1 topic in your whole time at SR which was infact a GAD winner!)

I totally agree with you here mate. I know the feeling seen as I was one of those other people who sent in a review yesterday. It took me ages and totalled 3999 characters!

But yet we are still beaten by a guy who submits 4 cheats copied out of a magazine. Blaah!

I think youve hit on something there!

The fact is that this bloke that won submitted 4, not 40!

Ok, I hate to be against you all but what would happen if they didn't offer a game for cheats? They have to do it every once in a while otherwise people wouldn't bother anymore. 'Oh look no one has one a game for cheats in over a month, let's go post them somewhere else or not post them at all'. It is annoying and I've had it happen to me, and it requires such skill my dog could manage it.

That's Life.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with a GAD/FAD Win, SR Made the decision to award the GAD, and they made it for a reason.

I think Tilt's just going through that stage of his life.....

You cant really blame him for being stressed, I mean he does work in a Printing Factory.

:-D

You didn't win? Wow, what an oversight. So where are the complaints for every single other person who didn't win yesterday? Exactly. Stop moaning, please. We advertise the fact you can win Gameaday through discussions, cheats and reviews. People win with discussions, people win with cheats and people win with reviews. When a review wins, does someone who posted cheats start a topic to complain? No, not at all. We even separated Gameaday into three prizes to give you more, and you STILL aren't happy. We give away about £100 worth of stuff every day, and you STILL moan. Well sorry, but I have no sympathy for this kind of post.

Who cares?

I wrote a story that's further down the list in FOG Chat hoping for a GAD, but didn't win.

I'm not particularly bothered really. There's always another day to try again.

I was keeping an eye of this thread, just waiting for the Snuggly response.

I expected something more subtle like a

*holds head in hands*

or even a

*bangs head on desk*

But I suppose there's only so much you can take!
